INDIANAPOLIS, IN (April 8, 2020) — The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has renewed its corporate partnership with Sports Imports, a volleyball net system manufacturing company based in Columbus, Ohio.

In a three-year extension of the contract to April 2023, Sports Imports will continue as the exclusive NFHS partner for volleyball. Sports Imports will be included as an NFHS Corporate Partner on all print and electronic listings, will receive full-page advertisements inside the NFHS Volleyball Rules Book, Volleyball Case Book and Manual, and Volleyball eBook, and will be the exclusive sponsor of the Volleyball Rules Posters that are sent annually to the NFHS’ 51 member state associations.

“We are pleased to extend our partnership with Sports Imports,” said Karissa Niehoff, NFHS executive director. “The quality of Sports Imports’ volleyball net system products has earned the trust of schools and associations at the high school, college and even Olympic levels, and we look forward to building upon the relationship already established.”

Sports Imports pioneered the first in-ground volleyball net system in the 1970s and has since sold nearly 60,000 indoor and beach volleyball net systems to schools, colleges and sport organizations across the United States. In addition to its assortment of carbon, aluminum and steel volleyball poles, nets, padding and other necessities for net safety, Sports Imports offers a number of training items including ball carts, vertical jump training equipment and elevated boxes for practice drills.

“At Sports Imports, we greatly value the NFHS, the work they do, and our relationship,” said Cyndie Dunlap, Sports Imports president and CEO. “We are thrilled to continue our long-term partnership with the NFHS into the future.”
